B2 - Lesson 31: "Wait, I Thought We Went This Way Already?"

“Report,” Robert ordered from atop the boulder he sat on.

Maggy shook her head. “Garrelt said it’s definitely the opening from the report. Some of the others have also found signs of campsites in the area. It’s safe to say those bastards beat us here. By the look of things, not by any short amount of time, either.”

Robert tsked. “That’s just great. I keep telling the...

Chapter pushed to Friday.

Royal Road is freaking out on me and making it nearly impossible to navigate atm.

Instead of trying to juggle all the sites while I figure this out, I'm just going to push the chapter to tomorrow and release everything when I've fixed it.

B2: GRIM Adventures - 12 (Edited)

Now Edited

—————————————————————

"Jack…" Ms. Jill called from the front of their group.

Jack — he had already scolded Grim for calling him 'Mr'… — thumbed through the thick journal, totally obvious to the thick crowd around them.

Well, it would have been thick… if most people weren't pressed to the sides of the market r...

Vote on the next Interlude. (Major Poll)

Just a quick one. 

Who do you want to see in the next Interlude? 

B2 - Lesson 30: "Luxury Condos by Alpha! Reserve Yours Today!"

Still pretty sick, but I like this one a lot better than the mess I tried to write yesterday. 

Tell me what you think? I feel like I should add a bit more, honestly. 

Not to the explanation itself, but a bit at the end, from the Adventurer's view point. What do you think?

—————————————————————

"What do you me...

Field Commander chapter tomorrow.

Woke up an hour ago, sick as a dog. Tired to do some writing, but it turned out to be a total mess. I'm gonna go back to bed and sleep this off, then finish the chapter up tomorrow. 

Sorry for the delay. 

B2 - Lesson 29: "Ignore The Ominous Lightning Flashing in The Background"

Almost done with this section, I promise! 

The next chapter will finish the whole MUD explanation in the first 1/3. 

Honestly, It ran a lot longer than I thought it would. Dr. Maria is more of a chatterbox than I thought. 

That said, how did the last 3 chapters feel to you? Should I try to summarize everything? Did it feel to much? Or was it fun? 

Lea...

B2 - Lesson 28: "Know How to Bait Your Line."

Be sure to Vote in the pinned Poll for the subject of the next Interlude!

So, I figured out what had me annoyed with the last chapter. At least a small part. 

I didn't give Alpha enough time to MAKE the new section of the Lab. So to compensate, I added a brief mention in chapter 26 that the celebration banquet is happening three days after the events of 23/24/25. Thi...

B2 - Lesson 27: "All Natural MUD"

Ok, this Chapter kicked my butt something serious. 

Really need your guy's help with this one. What do you think of it all around? 

The flow, structure and descriptions of what's going on? 

I feel really weird about this one for some reason, and I can't quite place it. 

Right now its just basic editing as I don't want to do to much to in case I need g...

B2 - Lesson 26: "Free Time is an Illusion."

Antchaser and Boarslayer’s team made their way through the village gate just as the bell for dinner rang. Communal meals had only been popular among the hunters before the Adventurers had arrived, and even then, only because they allowed the hunting parties to relax after a long day.

With the longhouse destroyed and every able hand working to rebuild the village, such meals had become m...

B2: GRIM Adventures - 11

Baron Ashdale turned and nodded. “As surely as the sun rises. For as old and as powerful as Morgana is, she’s just as vindictive. She’ll be weak for a while, which will buy you some time, but not much. I would recommend you to flee these mountains as soon as possible. She won’t leave them or get too close to Halirosa. She might treat Ashdale as a game, but even she wouldn’t test the f...

B2 - Lesson 25: "Big Brother is Always Listening."

—————————————————————

Here's the third and final chapter for Field Commanders today! 

[Author’s Note - The tense on this Alpha Log might be odd. I was sleepy and kept switching between past and present tense. I THINK I got everything, but tell me if it reads awkward!]

———————————�...

B2 - Lesson 24: "Pool-aid is Not a Federation Approved Beverage."

Ooook! So I need y'all's help with something.

Do I ever mention EXACTLY how big the goblin's caverns were?

I could have sworn I did I can't seem to find it anywhere now, not even in my notes...

Anyone remember?

Hugo sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Despite the cold water ...

B2 - Lesson 23: "If You Build It, They Will Come"

The gorilla-sized, green, ape-like creature swung through the thick canopy of the underground forest.

Long, muscular arms propelled it from branch to branch at high speeds, though it was becoming more difficult, the bloody wounds covering its body sending jolts of pain with each swing. However, despite its worsening condition, the creature knew it couldn’t risk slowing down. Not while t...

Annnnnd we're Back!

Annnnnd We're Back! Hurrah! Hope you all are looking forward to getting back into the story!

First off, the Field Commander tier is out, though it currently has no chapters. 

I'm polishing them up a little more and will release them periodically throughout the day. 

This is also a reminder that payments have been restarted as well, so if anyone was  waiting to s...

B2: GRIM Adventures - 10

—————————————————————

Jill took a sip of the rich, spiced tea. A smoky, almost savory flavor exploded across her tastebuds. Its earthy undertones and slightly sweet aftertaste summoned memories of her family as they roasted hazelnuts and forged mushrooms over the open flames of a campfire. It felt like drinking a warm Lux night, and the...

Update and Return of chapters.

Hey everyone! I WAS going to wait to post this, but I thought you all would like to know ahead of time. 

First off, the biggest thing Is that chapters are starting up again! Hurrah! 

"Osa, does that mean you're done Editing?!" 

NOPE! NOT EVEN CLOSE QAQ. 

The Editing is taking a lot longer to do than I anticipated, mostly do to having to restructure ce...

Quick reminder and update.

Update on the Edits! Its going well, hurrah! I DID have to go back and redo Arc 2, but I'm liking the changes. They posts on Royal Road will be updated within the week. 

Also, 

Just a quick reminder to everyone, payments are currently paused, so you'll not be charged while chapters aren't being released with the Editing going on. 

If some of you WERE charged by ...

Arc 2 Changes. (First half)

Hey everyone! Its that time again! Work has  slowed down a bit, but I'm still making good Progress while drawing  closer to arc 3.

As I mentioned before, Arc 2 has a lot of  issue that need working on, so I'm taking it slow and steady, making  sure everything is how I want it, before i post the updates!

With that said here's a list of major changes that have been...

Working update.

*cough*  I know I said I'd be doing these weekly, but honestly, there's not much  else to update on. Work is going smooth and making fast progress.

To  that end, Instead, I'll be updating you guys when there is some major  change or something that I think you guys need to / would like to know  about.

I'll also likely be deleting these "update" posts once the...

Someone spoofed the novel to the Amazon already. Don't fall for it.

Looks like someone ripped off  the novel and posted it to Amazon! The Audacity! Thanks to DWinchester  to finding this and bringing it to my attention!

As a reminder to my readers, I'll be posting  HERE before posting to Amazon to give you all a heads up! If you see  ANYTHING on Amazon before hand, its fake, and It would mean a lot if you  brought it to me!

Editing Update + Check In.

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good Christmas Break and New Years! It's been crazy for me! Not just because of Holidays, either. The last three weeks have been busy, as I've been working on the edits for book 1 Hurrah!

So far its been going well, with Arc 1 (before planetfall) finished and part of Arc 2 done already.

That said, Its going slower than I expected. Arc 1 was mostly gr...

Billing Paused.

Like the title says, due to what was mentioned in the previous post, billing is currently paused for all paying members.

What this means is you wont be charged for the time period while this is whole thing is happening.

You shouldn't have to  do anything on your end, and billing will resume on the 16th of Jan, barring I don't pause it for another month (It shouldn't take that l...

B2 - Lesson 22: "Redirection is a Virtue."

Alpha Logs are something new I’m trying. Think of them as journal entries. The idea is to use these to make the time jumps feel a little more “natural” instead of just narrating everything that happened. As well as to make it clearer about passing of time, since I know a few people have been confused about that.

If these work well, I might go back to previous Book 2 chapter and Reco...

Chapter tomorrow

The Chapter will be tomorrow. 

My sleep is all out of wack the past week or so, staying up to 4-5am and waking at 2pm. 

Gonna take the day to "Reset." and get back on schedule. 

B2: Interlude - "Meeting with the Boss."

New Poll with this chapter!

Which do you think sounds better for the Boss' name?

Icefinger or Coldfinger.

Coldfinger was the original name in the first iteration of the novel, but I felt like I wanted to try something different. There was also the fact I sort of forgot ;;>.>

That said, the idea behind the name should be pretty obvious.

Icefinger was my attemp...

B2 - Lesson 21: "Not even Conquerors can escape the Bureaucracy."

I'm alive! 

I spent 18 hours yesterday sleeping, fighting off some kinda bug. Even after waking up for a little bit to post the public chapter, I fell right back asleep for another 12...orz.

The man kneeling in the middle of the room was silent, their glassy eyes staring down at the ground. In contrast, the crowd behind them, sep...

B2: GRIM Adventures - 9

Small recon! Jill has been bumped to Silver Spirit, and Jack to Fifth-Circle (mage silver spirit equivalent) to better fit the power scaling between Halirosa and the Radiant Sea.

—————————————————————

The unlikely group made good time out of Morgana’s mountains. Once they passed through the valley, the group encountered little more dangero...

B2 - Arc 1 Epilogue - "Remind them who's in charge."

Seeker stood atop the massive tree, his arms folded behind his back. A deep frown fell over his face as he stared into the goblin village from a distance. This was… less than ideal. He’d known Bosco was an idiot; why else would the Boss send him to ensure the fool stayed in line?

Bosco had only been allowed to take the newest members and those with the lowest potential on his little e...

B2 - Lesson 20: "Let them do what they do best."

No, you're not hallucinating. I thought this title would fit better here, and so chapter 19 title has been changed to something else.

GASP! What's this though?! A Chapter on Sunday!?

Yep! This is the final (9th) chapter owed to Pathfinders.

Orz it took way longer than I would have liked to finally get out of the deficit, due to the car issues.

But now its done! Hurrah! W...
